Magenic

Client Type: Custom Software Solutions
In 2005, Magenic hired The Resource Group to help with recruitment. After starting mainly in the entry-level/college recruitment area, The Resource Group transitioned into an overall recruitment solution for the technology company.

Our Contributions:

We introduced a our “Hybrid” Recruiter model, including a new sourcing methodology

Refined the recruitment process by working with internal recruitment staff

Found and implemented the leading Applicant Tracking System for the social web (Jobvite) and became the Subject Matter Experts on site

Rebranded the Career page to include Software Superheroes

Defined a streamlined careerpath, and more.

Magenic’s success depends on it’s ability to attract Microsoft-specialized consultants in the top 10% of their very competitive industry. In the past, they have used many traditional recruitment options, including trying to do more with internal staff, adding more staff, purchasing new “tools,” hiring retained or contracted agencies to find difficult to find candidates, etc. When we started implementing our Hybrid Model, we were able to handle ALL of their hiring needs and exceeded their expectations.

Quick Stats on Magenic:

Testimonials from Magenic

“We have been working with The Resource Group for about a year now and I am extremely satisfied. They have increased our recruiting capacity well beyond our previous methods and have provided innovative and differentiated solutions to enable us to recruit top quality people in all disciplines and levels. I highly recommend their services without reservation. At this point, from sourcing to hybrid recruiting to our software superhero marketing initiated by Bob Schoewe, all initiatives have been successful.”

Greg FrankenfieldCEO, Magenic

“Our experience with The Resource Group has been very positive overall. They are very responsive and are the only firm that has truly found “passive” candidates which is difficult for recruiters to do. They are innovative in their approach and focus on quality, not quantity. They can ramp up a search quickly and effectively understand our needs. I can speak for all of us on this and highly recommend their services.”

Mike OjileVP of Sales, Magenic

Our Contributions:

We introduced a our “Hybrid” Recruiter model, including a new sourcing methodology

Offloaded all recruiting from HR allowing them to focus on their core responsibilities

Saved the company $80,000 in the first 6 months in agency fees alone

In the past, Greatbatch relied mainly on posting their jobs on their career site, contract recruiters and outside agencies. Applicants drawn to their career site were mainly unqualified but took valuable HR time to screen, contract recruiters were unable to provide value beyond culling applicants, and agency fees were cost prohibitive beyond a handful of searches per year. The Resource Group brought an onsite team and integrated themselves into the company providing hiring managers with select groups of strong talent per opening and worked with HR to provide a positive experience throughout the process. Since partnering with Greatbatch they’ve been able to eliminate job boards and all agency fees and have attracted and hired individuals from some of the top companies in the nation.

Quick Stats on Greatbatch:

Design and manufacturer of critical technologies that enhance the reliability and performance of medical devices

National scope including Minnesota, New York, Indiana, California and Oregon

Testimonials from Greatbatch

“Since the Resource Group began managing our recruiting efforts we have reduced our external recruiting fees by over 80%! Due to the incredible efforts of [their] team and the power of their unique methodology, we have hired amazing talent and elevated our brand recognition in the market in a really positive way. I’m extremely happy with our partnership with the Resource Group and wouldn’t want to go back the traditional, less effective methods of recruiting ever again.”
